Cuusoo of the Day: 2012.06.14

Small build and Mini builds do not get the respect they deserve. The Leaning Tower of Pisa and Micro-Scale Star Wars come to mind as some of the rare exceptions. This is an example of micro-building at its best. Just look at all those curves that seamlessly integrate!

AlexP made me make this new category "Repeat Performance." He appears to have a whole theme going on. I hear his own pages have even more spectacular builds like these. Had he not released the "The Drake's Head Inn" yesterday, I would have given this Pick of the Day, but now I see a very gorgeous series and I don't think AlexP is going to need any extra publicity to drive attention to this beauty.

This re-purposed Ferarri set has been on Cuusoo since OCTOBER and its only gotten 9 supporters! This is a case study in why you should use TAGs appropriately. Currently mani2012 is using "ferarri", "retro fighter", and "mani lego creation". All true, sure but they have done a good job of burying this gem.

"Fine Clonier" is a master of the custom minifig. His latest offering is Korra, Mako, and Bolin from the second Avatar series "Legends of Korra". Check out the link for much better pictures! If you get the chance I highly recommend that you attend his seminar at Brick Fiesta
